How did the empire rise in your wonderful Anakin raises leia AU?

aw I'm so glad you think it's wonderful!! RotS doesn't happen too different for the most part, but Anakin just reports Palpatine, Mace & Co go to kill Palps and get their asses kicked and Palps orders Order 66 and the Empire rises without its numero uno scary guy Darth Vader

#palps makes up for the lack of apprentice with inquisitors pretty fast #and probably does get another apprentice?? but i havent thought abt him much lolll #i'm not a HUNDRED percent on where anakin is when o66 happens he's either getting his shit mildly whipped at the temple bc hes v outnumbere #OR he's at padme's at first and heads to the temple once he sees It Going Down to try find survivors (and doesnt get his shit so whipped) #usually im faster at working out the details of AUs but both of these have Appeal loll so its hard to choose #either way he's got 1. loads of survivor's guilt and 2. feels like he caused all this even if he didnt complete his Descent #thanks for the ask! #skywalkers apart au
